Main Features CovPass: 💉

• Renewal of certificates[IOS, Android]: Certain certificates with the vaccination sequence "2 of 2" can be exchanged for "2 of 1" certificates. This allows certain certificates to be recognized as a booster vaccination. This primarily affects those who received a booster vaccination after recovery and those who received a former booster vaccination after a basic immunization with Johnson & Johnson. With this update, you can easily exchange these certificates within the app. For more details, visit our website.

• Sorting of certificates [IOS, Android]: Certificates with the same value are now sorted by their associated date (date of vaccination, date of PCR-test, date of sample collection), so you'll always have the newest certificate prioritized.

• Optimization of data consumption [IOS, Android]: The background processes for updating new rules have been optimized so that the app consumes less data volume during validation.

Bug Fixes CovPass: 💉
